That is most likely not going to work anyway, because the backend
operating environment is C not C++. If you dumb it down enough
--- no exceptions, no RTTI, no use of C++ library --- then it might
work, but at that point you're really coding in C anyway.

No. Because of the above problems, we don't see much reason to avoid
C++'s extra keywords.
